Abstract
Achieving the aims of criminal proceedings is impossible without coercion, which significantly restricts human rights and freedoms, including constitutional ones, and, therefore, it is permissible only if there are grounds and in the manner prescribed by the criminal procedure legislation. The grounds, conditions and procedure for applying measures of restriction in criminal proceedings largely depend on the correct systematization of criminal procedure legislation, which may be the basis for a systematic interpretation of the text of the law. Combining other measures of procedural coercion in Ch. 14 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation does not have clear criteria, which is fraught with the erroneous use of procedural coercion against participants in criminal proceedings. The purpose of the paper is to assess the directions of possible improvement of the legislation regarding the systematization of procedural coercion measures. Measures of procedural coercion should be structured and systematized in the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation on clear and uniform grounds, including coercive measures, which are not measures of restriction. Currently, there are no such grounds in relation to other measures of procedural coercion, united in Ch. 14 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, which impedes their reasonable application. The contents of Ch. 14 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation should be revised taking into account logical and legal ties. As a result of the research the author developed the ideas on logical connections as one of the main bases for the classification of the norms governing the use of procedural coercion, affecting its legality and validity.

Принуждение в уголовном процессе выражается в самых разнообразных формах и в широком смысле представляет собой не только воздействие на так называемых «невластных» участников судопроизводства, но и принуждение к определенным действиям должностных лиц, ведущих уголовное судопроизводство, других должностных лиц, наделенных полномочиями процессуального контроля или прокурорского надзора

Summary
Принуждение в уголовном процессе выражается в самых разнообразных формах и в широком смысле представляет собой не только воздействие на так называемых «невластных» участников судопроизводства, но и принуждение к определенным действиям должностных лиц, ведущих уголовное судопроизводство, других должностных лиц, наделенных полномочиями процессуального контроля (ведомственного или судебного) или прокурорского надзора. 14 УПК РФ не имеет ясных критериев, что чревато ошибочным применением процессуального принуждения к участникам уголовного судопроизводства. Меры процессуального принуждения должны быть структурированы и систематизированы в УПК РФ по ясным и однородным основаниям, включая принудительные меры, которые не являются мерами пресечения.
